Chapter 461 I... don't want to go back...

"Ah, that's it..."

Luld heaved a sigh of relief. It was true. After killing two demon generals and severely injuring the Sword Demon, it was inevitable that he would be seriously injured.

"Of course you can, Captain Ryan. You can rest assured and reunite with your family during this time. However, a million demon troops are ready to go in the Western Territory. I hope you can arrive in time when the crisis comes."

"Naturally." Ryan replied calmly.

As a king, Luld had already been humble enough in his treatment of Ryan, and his words were always pleading.

After all, with Ryan's strength and reputation among various races, it is just a matter of words for him to go anywhere. Now Luard still has to rely on Ryan.

——No, the schedule for marrying my daughter to Ryan has to be brought forward.

Seeing Ryan's indifferent attitude, Lud felt a little flustered.

Although Futini is still young, it will not be a problem to arrange the marriage in advance.

By then, Ryan's attitude towards his father-in-law will be better, right?

After hearing that Ryan already had several wives, Luard knew that Ryan was not interested in women. Ryan would not refuse to marry Futini, which had no disadvantages.

It’s a pity that Futini is still in At City.

"Captain Ryan, going home to recuperate is not a request. You should still give the reward you deserve. Come on, let's prepare a celebration banquet for Captain Ryan!"

"...Thank you, Your Majesty." Although he didn't like banquets, it would be too disrespectful for Ryan to refuse at this moment, so he opened his mouth to say thank you.

The lively celebration party lasted until nightfall. Luld wanted Ryan to stay overnight, but Ryan declined.

Riding on the Vangus, Ryan flew to At City in the night.

After walking out of the bathroom, Nanali rubbed her eyes in a daze, looking for the way back to her bedroom.

When passing by the gate of the mansion, Nanali subconsciously stopped here for a moment, staring at the gate of the mansion.

It seemed as if Ryan would push the door open in the next moment.

But it was quiet outside, with no movement at all.

Nanali couldn't help but pout and prepared to go back to the bedroom to continue sleeping.

"crunch-"

At this moment, the sound of the mansion door being pushed open was heard. Nanali was startled for a moment, then immediately turned her head to look.

At the entrance of the mansion, the door had been pushed open, and Ryan was standing at the door, looking at Nanali with a smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, Nanali rubbed her eyes and pinched her little face, as if she thought it was an illusion. She looked very cute.

Until Ryan slowly said: "I'm back, Nanali."

"..."

Nanali froze in place, staring at Ryan in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Nanali's blue eyes gradually became misty.

There was a clattering sound, and Nanali started to jog, and with one last leap, she threw herself into Ryan's arms.

Holding Nanali tightly in his arms, Ryan's heart was gradually filled with a sense of fulfillment.

Sure enough, it’s best to come back.

Soon, in the second half of the night, countless lights lit up in the Yaxi mansion, and it immediately became brightly lit.

The little girls surrounded Ryan, extremely happy.

Although this place is much worse than the lively celebration party, Ryan really feels comfortable.

At this time, Ryan had changed out of his black armor and put on a brand new butler uniform.

Yvette stroked the armor Ryan had taken off, her emerald eyes sparkling: "Master, is this the standard armor of the Dark Knights?"

"Ah."

Ryan smiled and nodded, with Ysera still hanging on his body.

At this moment, Ysera was biting Ryan's neck, but she didn't use much force at all. After biting once, she stretched out her little pink tongue and licked it twice, then bit it again, and repeated this process over and over again.

"Lady Olivia..."

Ivy looked at Alice behind Ryan, stepped forward a little stiffly and whispered, "Why are you here?"

Ivy was still very grateful to Alice.

If Alice hadn't told Ivy the truth about Ryan, Ivy would never have been able to regroup and eventually develop to the present stage with Ryan.

"After all, the demons have invaded, and we the elves cannot just sit back and watch."

Alice was also quite satisfied with this descendant of the elves.

If Ivy hadn't taken the lead, Alice would never have been able to settle her wavering thoughts.

"Are you Mr. Butler's master?"

Amija also came over, looked at Alice, and asked curiously.

Alice smiled and nodded: "Yes, Ami, I have followed you. You have great magical talent. If you have any questions, you can always ask me."

Octavia kept looking around: "Where's the lady? Has any of you seen my lady?"

"Dorothy is still sleeping."

Sajilier comforted her, "Dorothy has been ill recently and is rather sleepy. It's better not to disturb her."

"Oh, okay, thank you for helping take care of my young lady during this time."

"You're welcome. We should thank you for risking your life to save Ryan."

As she spoke, Sajilier's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed: "Speaking of which, from today on, can we call each other sisters?"

"Ah, this..."

Octavia's cheeks turned red visibly, and she stammered for a long time before she whispered, "Sister Li...Sister Li'er..."

"Hey, sister Weier~"

Sajilil immediately hugged Octavia with a smile. She was very happy that Octavia, who was usually cold, suddenly called her sister shyly.

Then, Sajilil pulled Octavia aside and whispered something to her.

After a while of excitement, Ryan asked the girls to go back to their rooms to rest. After all, it was getting late.

The girls then dispersed, the lights were quickly turned off, and everything was silent.

But tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for all the girls.

In Dorothy's bedroom, Dorothy curled up tightly in the quilt, her brows unable to relax.

The chill passed through Dorothy's body again and again, eroding her spirit.

—Dorothy...come back...

—Dorothy... You can't get away...

It was not until the sunlight from outside the window shone in that Dorothy opened her eyes. A barely perceptible purple light flashed in her red pupils.

Dorothy curled up in bed, hugging the quilt tightly. Her petite figure looked very helpless, and she muttered listlessly:

"No...I don't want to go back..."

——You can't escape. I will come to pick you up soon...

The voice entered Dorothy's mind again, causing her to shudder.

I... don't want to go back...

If I go back... I will leave this world...
